The lights of the city erase the stars from the sky completely. The rich live in the highest buildings, but the poor and homeless, live in hiding, especially the children. And those of whom lucky enough dine in the mansions with room after room left empty, and still acres of land to spare. In one mansion, the Juels mansion, the largest party takes place, the Juels family reunion. The entire family gathers together under one roof, the eire to the fortune, Skye, is sitting outside in a gazebo with her brother Eliot, and her dog, Milo. Skye is sitting with Milo's head resting on her lap, and Eliot sitting across from her. In the quiet of the night the two listen to the crickets and birds as they look out onto the water that shows the reflection of the moon, the stars, and the rest of the night sky. The silence is abruptly ended as a loud explosion shakes the earth beneath them. They look back to the house to see it going up in flames and to hear the screams of dozens.
"Holy mother of..." Eliot says in terror
"Its all gone" Skye whispers in bewilderment "We don't have, Anything"
"We have to get out of here!" Eliot yelled grabbing a hold of Skye's arm. With a blank, distant look on her face she starts to run with Eliot and Milo across the yard beside the burning building, and down into the city.
